This started as a scribble in Painter Classic. I scribbled the sword in black and white line art using the scratchboard tool, and once I'd finished it I realized there was something more this sword had to say, so I kept scribbling, and this piece was born. Being so colour-oriented, I decided to paint this almost as soon as I'd finished this black and white version, and you can see the full-colour painted version here if you like.

As for what this drawing is about...I'm not really sure. The sword definitely had more to say, but I can't say I'm entirely sure what it turns out to be. ;-) I get the sense of a battle fought long ago, a battle in which there was much sacrifice, but a battle that has been long forgotten.
